Currently in the USA there is only one lawyer that will charge a client $1,000.00 an hour. The lawyer is a form USA Attorney General Ben Civiletti, a partner of the Venable law firm.Civiletti specializes in antitrust law, litigation and white-collar defense. Civiletti topped the National Law Journal’s 16th annual survey of hourly rates for clients.
While Civiletti charges more than any other lawyer in the USA that does not mean that he earns more than all other lawyers.
Civiletti’s rate does not come close to making him one of the USA’s highest-paid lawyers around. Trial type attorneys can win multimillion-dollar verdicts and earn extra fees that break down into well over $1,000.00 an hour. A law firm working with a merger may charge a client a percentage of a deal which can well exceed $1,000.00 an
hour.Civiletti agrees and says that the figure of $1,000.00 an hour is in fact meaningless in a sense.
